Moja

Moja is beautiful: An island off the eastern coast of Sweden (1 of an alleged 25,000 small islands) measuring approximately 5 miles by 2.5 miles. It is Swedish pastoral epitomized--numerous clay red cottages dot the rocky landscape said to have been formed by slow moving glaciers and I believe it. We were treated to a wonderful bbq on the water with a large gathering of an extended family and many new friends before the show.

The fresh air did make me feel a lot better for a time and this morning's outing was especially nice. We took a boat ride to a tiny island further out into the Baltic for coffee and freshly baked bread that we brought with us. I took many pictures but have no way of posting them now as this PC doesn't like my camera connection. Either way, the island community absorbed us like a wet blanket. The tight knit group fed us, gave us drink, offered to carry our equipment, wanted to talk all night, offered beds, even two whole cottages. It felt like home.
